Excursions 
There are foxes, lynxes, wolves and small birds of prey. This zoo was the first to display a small black vulture, raised in captivity by its parents. Many 'fragile' species (vultures, owls, eagle owls, black kites) have also been bred here. In addition to the 180 species of animal found in the zoo, there are beautiful rock gardens, flowers and aquariums for visitors to enjoy. There is a self-service restaurant.
